Try the New Symptom Checker Tool!
In the midst of campus-wide efforts to promote health and safety, UHS has launched a new symptom checker tool. This tool can be accessed 24/7 through your MyUHS account whenever you are unsure whether to seek care for an illness, injury, or other health concern. The tool will help you to understand how serious your symptoms are, if a health care visit is needed, and what you can do to relieve your symptoms at home.
The bathroom: a place we all use but something we don’t always talk about. It may not seem like it, but what gets flushed down a toilet is very critical to keep plumbing functioning. If you're using the bathroom and thinking to yourself, "Can I flush this?" The answer is probably no. The only items that absolutely should be flushed are waste from the body and toilet paper. Still unsure whether to flush? Check
our list of items that should not be put in a toilet and how to tell if a toilet isn't working properly.
Over at the Housing Dining Instagram page, Resident Sustainability Ambassador Lainey Deetz visited Carson’s Market to ask students how much they know about food waste on campus. Some of the statistics may shock you! Check out the reel to see how students responded and learn about food waste!
